Execution of Patrick Mccarthy.
Fort SMITH, Ark, April 9.-Patrick
Mccarthy was hanged here to-day for
the murder OF Thomas and John Ma
honey, in the Cherokee Nation on the
10th of February, 1886. The evidence
was purely circumstantial, there being
no eye witnesses to the crime, and
Mccarthy died protesting his inno-
cence, and with the crucifiX in his
hand on the gallows vowed he knew
nothing of the murder. The general
impression here is that he was limo
cent, and that in his case circumstan-
tial evidence lied. He was a nervous
man OF 60. Six persons have been
hanged here within the last IL years,
for murders committed in the Indian
Territory, and neither feared nor
dreaded death. Father Symthe re
manned with him on the gallows until
the black cap was adjusted, and
stated that Mccarthy had a few words
to say. He (McCarthy) addressed the
crowd briefly, maintaining his inno-
cence and expressing a willingness to
die. He had a wife in Dixon, No.,
and relatives well connected in New
York City. The drop fell at 20 min
utes past 2 O'Clock, and death was
almost instantaneous. McCarthy's
death leaves "a prisoners in the United
States Jail charged with committing
murders in the Indian Territory.
Mr.. BIaine's Bad Cold.
ST. LOUIS, April "a special to the
Globe Democrat, from Fort Gibson,
Indian Territory, says Blaine was suf-
fering from a severe cold on Sunday
| evening when he arrived at Gibson
| Station. A Government ambulance
met the party at the station, but only
the ladies of the party could be taken
to the post. The next morning the
ambulance returned for Mr.. Blaine.
He was able to sit up in the convey
ance, but looked pale and thin. On
reaching the post he went to the resi-
dence Of Col. J. j. Coppinger, and has
not been out OF the house since. DR..
| Charles p. Berne, post surgeon, re-
ferred all questions to Colonel Cop
pinger. That gentlemen has little to
say, as he did not wish to create I'M
necessary alarm. He said Mr.. Blaine
is suffering from a heavy cold, ac-
commpanied by remittent fever, and
was quite sick, but tonight he has a
favorable pulse. Colonel Coppinger
repeated that Mr.. Blaine was quite
sick. The whole party expects to
leave for the north early this morning.
The soldiers detailed to sit up with
Mr.. Blaine last night report him quite
| sick, but could not say whether his
| symptoms were alarming or not.
Egg-Roliing ON Easter Monday.
New YORK, April "a Washing
Ton special says: On Easter Monday
Mrs. Cleveland will come in from
Oak View, where she has been for the
last few days, to see the egg-rolling in
the White House grounds. This
will be a novel spectacle to her, and
is one of the most curious and dis
tinctive children's custom in the
world. Egg.rolling in the East is
common enough, but why Washing
ton children, for longer back than any
body can remember, should this day
take possession of one particular spot,
is as queer as anything in the mystic
rious regions of child myths, and the
custom required of every President
that, besides giving up his private
grounds on that day, he shall come
out at least once during the afternoon
and show himself on the south portico.
No doubt frankie, as the children call
Mrs. Cleveland, will be a~nxiously ex-
pected on Monday, and her arrival
will be hailed ven more than the
Presidents.
Excitement over Election Frauds.
MILWAUKEE, April "a Marquette,
Michigan, dispatch says there is great
excitement all wei the northern Mich
igan peninsula, over alleged frauds in
the recent election, which places in
doubt the fate Of the Probibitory
amendment. The Ironwood author
tiles are reported to have sought legal
advice, it being charged that voters
by the hundreds were imported from
Wisconsin to vote against the amend
ment. The frauds are all alleged to
have occurred in Google City; that
most of the wholesale fraud was car
ried on there seems apparent. The
revised returns cut down the vote
against the amendment to $3.50, al
2essemer nearly 1900. LII
